Re: [Fink-users] kdeinit4.app and kde4 apps fail to run
Having googled for that, I found and experimented myself that to allow kde4 apps to work I have to run the /sw/bin/init.sh which the fink environment if I am not wrong. Having opened the X11 term which has the /sw/bin/init in the .xinitrc, I can run mostly all kde4 apps. In other words, I can't run all the kde4 apps until I run X11 term which runs /sw/bin/init.sh. I have tried various methods by putting /sw/bin/init.sh into the login startup menu. None of those effort product positive results. Does anyone know how to run /sw/bin/init at login. The only useful apps for me for the moment is Wireshark. However, that doesn't run as kde4.app. I have to run from shell.

That's for kde3.5, as you just noticed. And running kdeinit4 directly probably doesn't do what you want, since we don't have a full desktop in the -mac variant.

Would it be appropriate to patch altpdf{la}tex to avoid this problem?

Ok! Its the shell that changed. I was using bash under 10.5 (which explains why altpdftex worked for it) and have modified the default for 10.6, but apparently the TeXShop installed via Fink on 10.6 still uses sh. When I install TeXShop from the web, it works as expected. Thanks for the explanation. I'll modify the altpdf* scripts to use the bash shell.

"More POSIX conforming than POSIX requires" would seem to be an oxymoron, if not a paradox. And POSIX explicitly allows "echo -n". Does the builtin echo in sh have any way to suppress a newline?

The problem is that altpdftex uses "echo -n" inside a sh script, and Apple, trying to be more POSIX conforming than POSIX requires, removed the "-n" flag from the echo command that is executed by /bin/sh.

A lot of packages don't build yet on 10.6/32bit. The default compiler option there is to build 64bit binaries, and Fink goes to some lengths (but sometimes not far enough) to ensure that if you have a 32bit Fink, the compilers build 32bit binairies. Fixing all packages that still (try to) build 64bit binaries will take some time. -- Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Fink-users] OCaml on 10.6 is failing
I am on an upgraded system, 10.5->10.6, so everything should still be 32-bit. As I understand it, you don't get 64-bit Fink unless you bootstrap from scratch, and I surely didn't do that. OCaml fails with the following error: /tmp/camlasmb6d1cf.s:656:32-bit absolute addressing is not supported for x86-64 This appears several dozen times, and then the compile fails. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Fink-users] Snow Leopard, TeXShop, & tetex = trouble for me
I followed the instructions to switch to snow leopard. I've deleted
all Fink's .la files and have rebuilt the packages when the missing
files were needed when running an update-all. All went rather well.
Now I'm having trouble with tetex.

My TeXShop preference have ...

Any ideas as to what happened to break TeXShop?

Yup. We've never supported any PowerPC -> Intel migration option. The following one-liner will capture all of the real (rather than virtual) packages fink list -it | grep -v " p " | grep -v "\[" | cut -f2 and you can capture that output into a text file so that you can make the rebuild/reinstall procedure more automated.

We can't really control how your computer is administered. :-) One of the core developers found himself in the same situation while using a computer which wasn't his; and ultimately gave up on trying to come up with a way to grant non-root access.

Folks: The folks here are about to change me from my trusty PPC G5, where everything I use works fine, to a wintel imac with snow leopard on it.

That's for kde3.5, as you just noticed. And running kdeinit4 directly probably doesn't do what you want, since we don't have a full desktop in the -mac variant.
